-Happy MLK Jr. Day loyal readers. We are going to take this opportunity to congratulate Barack Obama on his inauguration into America's highest office. Barry deserves a real Tommy point for this one. Good luck from True Story on figuring out how to get our country out of its biggest mess in our lifetime. Going back to our first post on Oballa's flawlessly executed defense-fast break layup combo, we knew he had what it takes. I mean, if he doesn't, we might end up working here.
*Side note: We wish anyone luck to getting around the District on Tuesday, especially our friends who work down there. Have fun with THAT. We hope that your bosses got a clue and let you have the day off.
-Congratulations to the Cardinals and the Steelers. Our blog continues to massacre playoff picks. We need to do some soul searching and actually pick some winners. Good talk, see you out there. I'm not sure what our pick is going to be for this one, but Kurt Warner seems to have a deal with the devil. I mean, he promised his kids a puppy if he won the Super Bowl. But that doesn't seem to matter, because the Steelers defense seems scary enough that it kills puppies on the regular. We are not going to hide our disdain for the team from West PA, even if they feel too good to have their logo on both sides of their helmet. The one thing we like is Troy Palamalu, both for his ridiculous football skills and this ad you've all probably seen that gives us chills:
-We know we've mentioned a lot of hip-hop, but we love Indie rock too, its just not nearly as funny. Two notable recent releases is Bon Iver's eerily beautiful falsetto album "For Emma, Forever Ago" recorded in an isolated winter cabin in Wisconsin.....as well as the amazing debut from Fleet Foxes and the Black Keys collaboration with Danger Mouse, "Catch and Release". For more amazing picks check this NPR listeners list. NPR's "All Songs Considered" is also a great podcast to update you on all of the new stuff coming out. So for those of you tired of hearing about Chris Brown and Soulja Boy all the time, your welcome!
-We're not quite sure how we haven't talked about this, but DMX continues to baffle our minds with comedy/stupidity. For those of you who do not know, there is a prison in Arizona which psychologically demoralizes their tenants by making them live in pink clothes with pink jail cells. A brilliant strategy to really mess with Arizona's convicts. Please watch this clip that is quite possibly the best thing Fox News has ever put out:
Oh wait, Fox News must have figured out that we just complimented them and has disabled our ability to post the video directly to our site. Here's the link, enjoy. TheRealests.com have even heard rumors that DMX will be let out to perform for Obama? What?
If you want more Earl "DMX" Simmons being more poignant than James Joyce, here's the full interview:
